db0 apparently has a bot, @[email protected], linked up to AI Horde, which will render images using various LLM models in response to comments.
All using it requires is, in a comment, writing the text:
@[email protected] draw for me <prompt text>
It’s apparently been active for years, but somehow, I’d been unaware of it until now, when db0 happened to trigger it in a thread on [email protected] where we were creating images to represent usernames. It looks like nobody’s been aware of it, and it’s gotten very little use.
It apparently supports multiple models (including Pony, which is trained on and can render furry art, and Flux, which does pretty well with ordinary, English-language descriptions). It looks like the default is Flux.
Note that according to the FAQ, it will try to block (and will do a 1-day tempban on users for) NSFW content.
I’m going to try out a few prompts here and maybe mention this somewhere higher-profile, because this is really cool — it lets users pseudononymously generate images on the Threadiverse without needing to use a commercial service or having their own hardware.

AI Horde style list (these can be accessed by adding style: <stylename> to the end of a prompt). Some of these are clearly different models whose names I recognize, and I’m pretty sure that some are just adding some extra text to the prompt.

While Lemmy doesn’t natively provide the ability to follow a user, it posts what it generates to [email protected], so you can subscribe and watch generation if you want.
Here are some images matching your request
Prompt: a man standing on a rainy street, noir, vector illustration, ink, hard light, light on dark,black-and-white,shadowed

Fantastic, so that works. I’m a sucker for high-contrast black-and-white stuff. Another set of noir prompt terms that I’ve liked; again, dunno if the base SDXL model has sufficient training to do it:
@[email protected] draw for me a man standing on a rainy street, noir, by darwyn cooke style: sdxl

Works, though that particular image doesn’t blow me away. Another high-contrast black-and-white set of prompt terms that’s worked for me with SDXL:
@[email protected] draw for me a man standing on a rainy street, by frank miller, style of sin city style: sdxl

Great! Okay, probably shouldn’t fill this post up with just black-and-white images, though.
@[email protected] draw for me cat, cute, watercolor illustration, heavy paper bleed style: sdxl
EDIT: Hmm. This is taking much longer than before. I am hoping that the bot didn’t just die.
Let’s see if maybe it just dropped the request and is still alive.

EDIT: Oh, I know what happened. My phone autocorrect corrected “dbzer0” to “db0”.
Going to give it another shot after having waited for a while.

Hmm. Still nothing.
@[email protected]: I’m afraid that your aihorde bot may have crashed or something, unless there’s some sort of rate limit not mentioned in the aihorde bot FAQ. I don’t think that it was anything terribly unusual I did, as this would have been a model that I already rendered images with, just changed the prompt terms.
